but such a victory would be of no mate-1
rial benefit to the pooling bill ior it .
would be set aside tor appropriation i
bills or talked to death, which latter
seems to be the sure fate of the bank- t
ruptcy measure in case the pooling biNN
shoul i not displace it. There appears
little hope of the pooling bill ever ;
reaching the final stage, for'a number
of senators, capable
of nnhmited

are ready to antagouize it.

,It is immaterial whether the agricul
tural or the Indian bill comes up next.
Changes in both of them will be de
manded by the republicans.. At the
last session the republicans ;i gainst the
oppositions of the democra ; - h id a mil
lion dollars appropriate-i r the ex
termination of the Ri" 1 thistles,
this appropriation going the agri
cultural bill as an amei;i i i. but was
stricken out in confer-;. Now the
bill carries an amehdn reported by
the committee .approp1 . ' r the same
amount for the exter. . ion of the
gypsy moth, which will fought by
the republicans. In addition to this
there is said to have been present in
the bill some new and 'objectionable
paragraphs that must be expunged be
fore the bill can pass the senate. ,. -
1 ourts in the Indian t erritory.
j The consideration of the Indian
bill
wili probably be preceeded by that of
a bill providing for the reorganization
of the courts in the Indian Territory.
If this is not done in a separate meas
ure, it will be put upon the biil as an
amendment, but the committee prefers
that it shall come before the senate as
an independent proposition. This re-
I organization is the outrowtn of the
report of tha Dawes commission, and
the personal investigation made by a
sub-committee of the committee on lu-
dian affairs.
Mr.-Allen will take the first opportu
nity that presents itself this week to
call, up his resolutions providing, for
the appointment of a committee "to in

36 to 35 that the amendment to the -diplomatic
